Essentia interior products offer a compelling alternative when compared to traditional sources. Whether you’re considering metal halide, ceramic metal halide, fluorescent, quartz halogen or other incandescent sources, Essentia luminaires bring the advantages of LED technology to interior spaces.

Energy and Maintenance SavingsEssentia luminaires can deliver significant energy and maintenance savings compared to non-LED sources. You can eliminate relamping cycles while significantly cutting energy costs when you choose Essentia LED luminaires.

Lighting Design IntegrityThe integrity of any lighting designer’s creation can be compromised the first time a lamp needs to be replaced. Essentia luminaires eliminate incorrect beam spreads, varied color temperatures and other re-lamping related issues that cause the original design intent to suffer. Essentia interior luminaires maintain the credibility of your original design intent and performance for years to come.

Standard 0-10 volt DimmingUnlike other light source technologies, LEDs become more efficacious (more lumens per watt) when dimmed. In addition, as LEDs are dimmed, lumen maintenance also improves. All Essentia luminaires are standard with 0-10 volt dimming capability.

Color Quality The unique blending technique in Essentia luminaires ensures initial color consistency within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse from the initial specified color point. Additionally, we are committed to providing luminaire color point stability over time, within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse to the predicted L70 point (in hours) for the entire Essentia product family.

Thermal Management: the key to Essentia performance and longevity

Managing heat is the core of a high-performing LED luminaire. BetaLED’s approach maximizes heat transfer away from the LED chip package to keep it cool. Here’s how it works:

• A metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) rapidly transfers heat from the LED chip package to the heat sink

• The heat sink provides heat absorption and dissipation

• Heat pipes relocate the heat from the heat sink to the fins

• The large surface area of the thin fin, open-air design maximizes airflow and thermal dissipation

Exceptional Dimming and PerformanceEssentia luminaires feature standard 0-10 volt dimming. Ideal for all general lighting and unique applications like high ceilings, Essentia LED recessed downlights are designed for lasting performance, ease of service, and upgradeability as LED technology advances.

The complete product line includes an unbeatable LED performance package and is designed with these advantages:

• Standard 0-10 volt dimming

• Optional Lutron Hi-lume® driver available

• 120 or 277V 50/60Hz operation

• Serviceable light engine with replaceable LED array

• Compatibility with a wide variety of lighting controls and systems

Virtually No MaintenanceEssentia luminaires are an ideal choice for hard-to-reach spaces that are challenging and expensive to maintain. The advantages LED technology offers are enhanced with BetaLED’s advanced passive thermal management design and use of high quality components. The combination results in a highly reliable, near maintenance-free product, designed for maximum longevity.

MEETing COLOR Dem

ands.Color Quality CommitmentThe needs and concerns regarding color quality, consistency and stability as they relate to interior spaces are paramount to a successful interior lighting design. BetaLED is committed to delivering the color-quality performance that meets or exceeds the expectations of best-in-class traditional light source technologies.

BetaLED’s unique LED blending technique enables each Essentia luminaire’s initial color consistency to be within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse from the initial specified color point.

Additionally, we are committed to providing luminaire color point stability over time, within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse to the predicted L70 point (in hours) for all products. BetaLED’s patented NanoOptic technology enables us to provide color spatial uniformity that meets the requirements demanded by the most discerning lighting designers.

To fully understand the concept of the MacAdam Ellipse, start with its creator, Kodak scientist David MacAdam. His research in the late 1940’s determined a series of boundaries around several color targets to illustrate how much one can “stray” from the target color before the human eye perceives a difference. Delivering luminaires with the initial specified color point and color point stability within a 2-step MacAdam Ellipse to the luminaire’s L70 point (in hours) demonstrates excellent color consistency and stability compared to most traditional light source technologies.

The results of Essentia’s impressive luminaire-to-luminaire color consistency and color spatial uniformity is demonstrated at left, fully meeting the application design intent.
